What happens in Obsessed from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Colonel Kim Jin-pyeong [Song Seung-heon] is a decorated war hero standing on the verge of a general’s promotion, a milestone thatTriangles with the weight of family politics and old rivalries. His life of outward success is underscored by the disapproval of a commanding father-in-law and a wife, Lee Sook-jin [Cho Yeo-jeong], who is pregnant, signaling a future built on appearances as much as affection. Yet beneath the surface, Jin-pyeong’s long-quieted emotions for his wife have waned, and the memories of the Vietnam War haunt him with relentless nightmares about the soldiers under his command. The shadow of PTSD colors every decision, every memory, and every breath he takes.
